Anonymous Coward User ID: 870381 Australia 01/14/2011 04:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Very worthwhile checking the link on this. I came across this stuff couple of weeks ago here at GLP. It was some old woman in a baseball cap lecturing about what I now see is core Sovereign Citizen philosophy. She was very emotional. Maybe someone else recalls it? This is quite mind blowing. ‘"No, I won't pay debt with a currency that's not backed by gold and silver!" (3:34) A core sovereign-citizen belief is that when the United States went off the gold standard, the government started using citizens as economic collateral—using our future earnings to secure foreign debt in a sort of giant Ponzi scheme. In this theory, you exist as a regular flesh-and-blood person, but there is also your "corporate shell" (often referred to as "the straw man"), which exists merely on paper and is created when you sign up for a Social Security card. If all this sounds confusing, that's because it is, even for sovereign citizens themselves. "I have a hard time believing it, but you keep seeing examples again and again," says Adask. "As fantastic as it might sound, they [the government] have literally created an alternative reality." Likewise, Johnson says "we have been living in a matrix world." It follows that sovereign citizens, unlike the tea party movement, don't believe in working to change the government; they insist that all of it is an illegitimate scam we must simply reject.’ [link to motherjones.com] |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1119817 United States 01/14/2011 05:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is not done directly but by subtle association of the Person to the Believe. "Misleading Vividness" is also being applied. In fact, there are several fallacies rolled into one at play. Society at large uses fallacies everyday. This can be empirically observed by the MSM, boards such as this, and with talking to People in everyday life. Grammar IS important. From Grammar comes our concepts of reality. In fact, there is an entire subset of definitions that are used in the legal system that have entirely different meanings from which they are used in normal life. Any first year Law Student can tell you that. Another fallacy you make is equating "sovereign citizens" with the right wing school of thought. This is not true, as any amount of "your own" research will point out. The Government infringing on Rights is taking place and has been for some time. That is the Nature of Governments anyway, all paths lead to Rome so to speak. Controlling Grammar is a form of Mind Control. Again, Language forms our concepts of reality, this is not debatable. Every year the dictionary gets smaller and smaller, this is a well known fact. Go into the "Blacks Law" dictionary and read for yourself the meanings of words and how they apply to a Person under Law, and how the ordinary Person relates to these words from the standpoint of how they are normally used in everyday life, opposed to how they are used in Law, and you will understand. Also you might like to read the book "1984" to get an understanding of the concept of "newspeak" The reason I am pointing out that "you" are making these fallacies is because of the title "Explained: Jared Loughner’s Grammar Obsession" That is a statement. It is obviously a statement in which "you" believe otherwise you would have not posted this thread. You are using other Peoples words to support your believe. Hence, you are the one making the fallacy in relation to this thread, by perpetuating other Peoples fallacies. How original of you. |

Based on his online rantings, the man who allegedly emptied a 31-round clip into Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and dozens of bystanders Saturday was preoccupied with theories on a massive government fraud. Many of his seemingly random statements—on "grammar," "the ratifications," "the new currency," and more—echo the teachings of the "sovereign citizen" movement, a right-wing school of thought alleging that Americans have been surreptitiously stripped of their God-given rights. These are not random parallels, as I discovered in reviewing Loughner's YouTube videos. In multiple instances, he uses the precise talking points sovereign-citizen theorists teach via a thriving cottage industry of books, websites, bogus legal companies, and seminars; one popular theorist, David Wynn Miller, told the New York Times that Loughner has "probably been on my website." (It's important to note that the sovereign-citizen movement is a philosophy, not an organized movement; Loughner's interest in its teachings doesn't implicate any individuals or organizations in his actions.) A few cases in point, taken from a video Loughner posted on December 15, 2010." <snip> ""The government is implying mind control and brainwash on the people by controlling grammar." (3:34) As the Guardian's Peter Walker and Politico's Carrie Budoff Brown reports have pointed out, this is the basic premise of the sovereign-citizen argument, which posits that government has used linguistic devices in certain laws to strip us of our rights. "This is an extraordinary freaking word game," says Alfred Adask, a guru of the sovereign movement and former publisher of the sovereign-citizen magazine AntiShyster, told me. "Not many people know how to do it or even understand it. The government has ensnared us with the sophisticated use of words and put us back into bondage. You have to master the definitions and start working out with a law dictionary."" more on link. i basically said the same thing but i didnt metnion that org it is obvious what laugnher was saying when he said about grammer its what legal speak is clever use of words- lawyers argue to interpret the constition when people like laughner say its already clear what the constitution is saying and was meant to be written in a clear way. They do the same with the bible, they theorise and interpet words so their meaning is obliterated and the direct purpose of languages OUTCOME doesnt bear any relationship to the orginal intenet of the writings and the twisters of the grammer get their own way (which is the furthering of a socio political agenda by use of deciet. |

David Wynn Miller told Politico he agreed with Loughner's statement in a YouTube video that "the government is implying mind control and brainwash on the people by controlling grammar." Loughner's claims in his videos: "I'm able to control every belief and religion by being the mind controller!" Miller's website is, to put it charitably, confusing. He appears to believe that by changing the punctuation of one's name - adding hyphens and colons, for example - a person can transform into a "prepositional phrase" not subject to taxation. " |

Screw up the grammer or the application or teaching of the 'rules of grammer' and you can have two or more grammatically coded ways of passing 'coded' messages in wide open public discourse where only the 'in group' know exactly what you are really sayin. D.C. Doubletalk, the Texas Two Step, and the majority of the MSM telepromter script writers are fully aware of this. Its not only the Government. Why do you really think there is so much poor poor grammar on the MSM talking heads on Cable these days, and even mispellings on the scrolling marque lines at the bottoms of the 'news' channels screens? But the conspiracy is so wide and deep that it is not even mainly a HUMAN conspiracy but that of powers higher than even mankind. Near the end of every republic in history, and near the end of every empire that has fallen in history, is the total corruption and short-cut text writing, and an extreme use of acronyms rather than spelling things out. ROTFLMAO, BTW. ICU don't really appreciate what I am really saying hear. But do you here what I mean? Mispeilings hear are intentationall. Also, redefine words, by rewriting the dictionaries and lexicons the 'always new' generation is being taught in elementary school and thereby gar-ran-tee a perpetual generation gap in communications. |

Religions use various grammatical rules systems to come up with a reason to be different from other religion, sects, creeds or denominations ( be they Buddisht, Islam, Shinto, Christian, Jewish, atheist, etc., makes no matter). Two basically different ways of reading the US Constitution even, the Originalist interpretational approach, and the Construcionist Interpretational approach. Evne teh US SCOTUS talks about this. The Constructionalist is the one that really focuse on the claim that there is a proper and definite set of solid rules to any given written and evne spoken language. For the most part this is only true of DEAD langauges because Dead languagw are no longer being changed by day to day use and new applications. Old documents need to be understood in light of the way the language used to write them was being used at the time the document was written and the dictionaries and lexicons and grammars used by the writers themselves. This is the Construcitonalist approach. Misteach or deliberately wrongly teach the grammar rules and constantly improperly apply the grammar both in writing and reading and you can decieve many people who have been otherwise trained in a different grammar system as to what was supposed to be the proper grammer. The Word Smyths are some of the most powerful Magi on Earth at any given time. |
